David Webber, associate professor emeritus of political science at the University of Missouri-Columbia: "Obama explained that it wasn’t that legislators 'didn’t know the difference between good and bad policy. It just didn’t matter. What everyone in Springfield understood was that 90% of the time voters back home weren’t paying attention.'"
